I recently purchased the purse pictured above {the J.Crew Cork Invitation Clutch} and immediately thought it was the perfect spring and summer bag. It is lightweight, goes with nearly anything thanks to the neutral color, and is a welcomed change from my usual brown leather option. The gold specs throughout help glam it up, too, and I was smitten with its day-to-night versatility. I thought it was just so unique until I found out that (a) my friend Alix already has a cork purse, and (b) there are several variations available from other stores. Sigh, no trendsetting going on here. Despite my apparent lack of cork purse knowledge I am definitely obsessed. If you are as well, you may need to join the queue because the J.Crew version is now on backorder (nooo!). I was assured their stock will be refilled soon but if you’re as inpatient as me you may want to try another option below.

I’ve been drooling over this bag online http://www.katespade.com/gold-coast-cork-ginnie/PWRU2819,default,pd.html?dwvar_PWRU2819_color=115&start=3&cgid=handbags-cross-body and finally saw it in person at Nordstrom. Perfect size and shape to fit the essentials, and lighter than its leather counterpart. Yay cork!

That clutch is adorable. They sure are selling out quickly!
